Muga Reserva Selection Especial 2019 Rioja

Origin:
Bodega Muga, located in the heart of the Rioja region, presents the Selección Especial 2019, a masterfully composed red wine. This vintage reflects the perfection of an excellent climate and meticulous craftsmanship.

Composition and development:
The blend consists of 70% Tempranillo , complemented by 30% Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo , grapes that thrive in clay and limestone soils. After fermentation in wooden barrels, the wine matures for 26 months in French oak barrels crafted in the estate's own cooperage. It then ages for at least 18 months in the bottle before release.
